Hello from British Columbia

[Big Banger]

Hello Evreyone,
I am from British Columbia, Canada. I have been into hot rods, musclecars, bikes, guns and guitars since I was kid. My dad bought a new International 200 Series pickup in '74 when I was 7 years old. I now have my dad's old truck and plan on restoring it when my two boys age 7 & 5 get older. I also have a '65 GTO, '34 International hot rod pickup, '97 HD Heritage Springer (was my dad's) and a '68 Schwinn Stingray Orange Krate.
This site looks great, I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.
Regards,
Big Banger

Here is the Omaha Orange '74 200 Series I had, it had a 392 in it.

What are you planning on doing to the truck?

 

[Big Banger]

I just want to give it a light restoration, keep some of my dad's fingerprints on it. The truck has been stored since '81 and has 52,000 original miles on it. A little body work on the box, paint, tires and exhaust.

can't wait to see the finished product or the steps ... "wanted to keep my dad's fingerprints on it" nice!

Lots to do and no time to do it.
